Absolutely. And what governments do all the time is use aid


As leverage to compel other countries to do something that is in the best interest of US national policy. That’s of course not what this particular situation was because the benefit to be earned by releasing the aid would be to trump personally .
Mulvaney was trying to make what Trump did sound normal, but it’s not normal. It’s abuse of power.
Mulvaney I’m sure it was well aware of what was going on, which makes him a co-conspirator.
